by Julius Karl Reinhold Sturm (1816 - 1896)

Auf ihre Hand
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Es schwebt um deine zierliche Hand 
Ein Falter mit bunten Schwingen,
Er freist um sie wie festgebannt
In immer engern Ringen.

Jetzt läßt er nieder sich gewandt,
Die Flügel still zu falten;
Er hat deine kleine weiße Hand
Für eine Lilie gehalten.

Confirme with Julius Sturm, Natur, Liebe, Vaterland: Neue Gedichte, Leipzig, F. A. Brockhaus, 1884, p. 94.
